The US is working to prevent the issuance of an arrest warrant by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the attack on Gaza, Israeli media has reported.
According to the news site Walla, Netanyahu is leading a “non-stop push over the telephone” to prevent an arrest warrant being issued against him by the ICC, particularly communicating with the White House.
The Israeli newspaper Maariv has reported that Netanyahu is “frightened and unusually stressed” by the possibility of an imminent arrest warrant.
Sources close to the paper believe that the arrest warrants are only a matter of time.
The paper reported that Defence Minister Yoav Galant and Chief of Staff Major-General Herzi Halevi could also be served with warrants. ⠀
An internal State Department memo reviewed by Reuters on Saturday revealed senior US officials have advised Secretary of State Antony Blinken that they do not find “credible or reliable” Israel’s assurances that it is using US-supplied weapons in accordance with international humanitarian law.
Other officials upheld support for Israel’s representation.
Under a National Security Memorandum issued by President Joe Biden in February, Blinken must report to Congress by 8 May on whether he finds credible Israel’s assurances that its use of US weapons does not violate US or international law.
By 24 March, at least seven State Department bureaus had sent in their contributions to an initial “options memo” to Blinken. Parts of the memo, which has not been previously reported, were classified.
The submissions to the memo provide the most extensive picture to date of the divisions inside the State Department over whether Israel might be violating international humanitarian law in Gaza.
Joe Biden is a genocide supporter.
He’s not just a supporter, he is an active participant.
Correct.
Trump is a genocideS supporter.
Trump is not in power right now.
Correct.
GOP is constantly refusing legislation because he told them no. That fat fucking orangutan still has power because they give it to him.
I believe this is what you lot call whataboutism
Now this is actual whataboutism
What about if it was a reminder and warning
I applaud your efforts to combat the tankies and trolls from lemmy.ml
Trump Derangement Syndrome claims another.
If he’s gonna live rent free in my head I ought to let people know right?
About time, if you ask me. After deliberately killing so many people, including kids and destroying almost entirely Gaza, making the life of ordinary people there and in the West bank hell.
Being a war criminal catching up with him?
It won’t. The US will defend him till the end
Ah yes, nothing like being Israel’s lapdog
“Jeeeezuz must have his landin pad”
That was unexpectedly quick. I thought we’d be waiting years before we could even begin talking about any kind of measures that could be taken in response to the crimes (assuming that it wouldn’t be dismissed on the way).
The rest of the world knows what’s going on and is a lot to work around the US since our politicians don’t have the balls to do the right thing.

There were reports about Jeffrey Epstein being a mossad agent using pedophilia to entrap American politicians.
If that was the case, I’m sure Epstein wasn’t the only one. Part of me really wonders if the democratic politicians holding steadfast in support of Israel really are doing this out of fear of being outed for doing heinous shit.
It’s very obvious lobbying that took place for decades. Netanyahu himself was a lobbyist. Might be with Epstein etc but you don’t need to look far to understand this.
didnt they also step in between the ukraine-russia negotiations a year or 2 ago?
Technically that was Bojo, but UK obviously wasn’t just acting on their own there.
I believe that was Boris Johnson.
Yet the heavens fall let justice be done
“Rules-based order”
Is there one for Ben Gvir? Cause dude needs one like yesterday.
What am I missing? I don’t see in that article where it indicates that the us is blocking it, nor the evidence they have that supports it.
